Step 4: Subtract unearned income diverted to a PASS account, the Death Benefits deduction and, for children, the child support disregard. The result is the total monthly countable income. Step 5: Compare the amount in Step 4 to the SSI Maximum Payment Level, indicated in Appendix A for the appropriate number of persons. If the net countable monthly income is equal to or less than the appropriate SSI Maximum Payment Level, the assistance group (AG) is eligible and no further steps are necessary.
